Reign of Destruction

By this point, the Ohm had spread all across the planet.

Destruction spread throughout the cities of Zokez II. There were evacuees that still needed to escape. People that needed saving.

It was time for the crew to do what they did best.

"FOOLS!" The Son of Satan spat. "You must flee now while you are able. Do you value your lives more than these creatures?"

Daimon stared at one of them. It stared back with its big, weird, alien puppy eyes.

"We're not leaving without them!"

Daimon scoffed. "A waste of my time, but if you insist..."

And then there were three.

Indeed, the puppies found themselves drawn to Daimon. Don't ask them why. They're adorable and mysterious that way. Oh rescue them, won't you?

Meanwhile, Billy has coaxed some of the staff out of the building with animals tucked securely in their arms. They were hurrying to a shuttle when two Ohm grunts broke through, racing for the life forms there.

All Billy could do was run alongside them, using his lance to fend off threats as they come. The deadly creatures were in groups of one or two for now, thankfully, but it was still not easy. The puppies were shrieking and one of the volunteers was hurt, not to mention the quick slices the Blue Ranger couldn't quite dodge.

"Medical's right next to the shuttles, keep going!" he yelled, slicing at the arms as he'd been taught. To the others in the area, he called:

((Some Ohm are slowly spilling through. I can stay on the evacuation path and fight, but if anyone can help it'd be appreciated. Let's just get them out of here!))

Those sad puppy cries broke his heart.

Sasami heard the puppy cries as well as Billy's message. Things just got worse.

[[Not without some help...!]] Sasami replied. She joined up with the Ranger, using the armor and increased strength to strike at the Ohm, the claws slashing at her as she did. As she pulled away, she reached for Ryo-Ohki and tossed her into the sky.

"Ryo-Ohki! Help us!" she shouted, the cabbit quickly taking up her transformed state. Once again, its spaceship form loomed overhead... before firing a small wave of energy bolts around them, intending on deterring any Ohm at the moment.

There were several puppies bundled in the Son of Satan's cloak, which he held to his chest with one arm. He raised his trident at the attacking Ohm and, channeling the energy granted to him by his heritage, blasted them with his soulfire.

And while the puppies shivered and whined, Daimon grinned.

It's a cabbit spaceship---wow. Incredible.

Yes, he was concentrating with all his heart on the fight, but Billy wouldn't be deterred from passively admiring their skills. It was definitely something the volunteers noticed as they passed safely.

Well...mostly safely, as he spotted one slashing at a frightened young man and his puppy. "Back off," the volunteer called, kicking at the approaching Ohm.

"Hang on!" yelled Billy desperately, charging in with a spinning lance. It snagged some of the claws, and with another twist they were broken off. The young volunteer nodded as he sprinted toward the shelter, leaving Billy to join the Ohm and...two of its friends?

"More are starting to slip through. Everyone, run to the shuttles!" He waved the volunteers through, entangling the Ohm as he did so. Ouch! They were tricky, one of them had just slammed and sliced through the armor on his arm. That wasn't important right now, though.

"How are you holding up?" he directed at Sasami and Daimon.

By this time, Sasami had taken hold of a puppy herself and was on the defensive, a barrier being held up as she extended her right arm. This was getting to be tough - she had no idea what exactly she could do nor the time to try any of them out.

"I'm holding out alright..." Sasami said. A slight push with her barrier knocked some of the Ohm away, giving her time to switch hands, switch the puppy around and make a small incantation, firing a burst of energy at the Ohm. "...I could use a bit of help..."

A few moments later, one of the grunts broke through, landing its claws into her arm. There was a shriek of pain as Sasami tossed it off and soon found herself starting to get swarmed, the only thing saving her at the moment was Ryo-Ohki firing away again.

"Then the Son of Satan shall aide you." He said, raising his tride- what? He didn't have his trident? Curse you, thread retcons Stacy!

Unable to levitate over, he did it the old fashioned way, by running. Fortunately his soulfire blasts were still effective without his trident.

Unfortunately Daimon was too self absorbed in the battle to properly watch his back. He was knocked flat by one of the grunts and almost crushed the poor puppies, sparing them only by flinging an arm out to catch himself.

They were all beginning to get overwhelmed. This was looking bad. Billy gritted his teeth and struck out with the lance held in his uninjured arm's hand, swinging up with kicks once the legs were wrenched off.

"Hang on!" Yelping as one struck his leg, he yanked the Blade Blaster out of his belt pouch and set it in gun mode. With a laser shot slicing through one of the overhangs, he knocked down a temporary barrier against the incoming Ohm.

Another jump and he attempted to use the lance to wrench Daimon's opponent away. The surrounding grunts got their shots at Billy, but with a heave Daimon and the puppies were freed.

The goal now was to keep fighting and stay upright. Harder than it sounded.

Things were heating up. They were getting swarmed. Even as Sasami fired at the creatures, they were slowly swarming her. One was able to get her right shoulder, nearly dropping the puppy in her arms as the blade pierce through the armor, another striking her leg, nearly causing her to fall.

"No... no, I can't fall here... not with everyone counting on me..." Sasami said.

She only had one real chance. One shot to make this work.

"O great mother which sleeps in the infinite, source of all life within the cosmos, I call upon thee, swear myself to thee, power of indignation and life erupt to my hands and grant me the power to defeat mine enemies! Gaia Buster!"

From her hands, massive burst of energy shot forth, almost similar to that used by the TSAB-based mages, incinerating a number of the grunts in front of her as she did.

The creatures were starting to think twice here...

Daimon pushed himself off the ground. If Billy was counting on a "thank you" he did not receive it. Instead the Son of Satan growled. He took one brief moment to adjust the puppies so that they wouldn't fall out of the cape before turning back on the Ohm.

This time it wasn't his hand that came alive with soulfire, it was his entire arm, and he sent forth a stream of it not at one Ohm but at many.

The Son of Satan was pissing pissed.

Sasami and Daimon's powers were working very well. Time had been bought for most of the volunteers to reach the shelter, and finally the last few and their puppies were racing down the street. Billy ran with them as best he could, knocking and slicing at the Ohm to keep them at bay until Sasami and Daimon could vanquish them. For a while, this worked.

Then came the complication: Debris from another battle flying through the air, falling all around them on the street. Fortunately, it was blastable into harmless pieces if they attacked it. Unfortunately, there was quite a lot of it, drastically reducing the chances of them escaping unscathed.

This idea was confirmed by the giant concrete slabs falling right for the last volunteer and her puppies. No time to waste. Billy instinctively leapt into action, pushing the two out of the way with an order to run. They did. He wasn't so lucky, assuming that awful yell meant anything.

It was astonishingly difficult and overwhelmingly painful to pull yourself out of a concrete pile when you only have one intact arm, he learned. It was just inconvenient when the Ohm decide to take advantage of such injuries and attempt to finish you off. Billy had no choice but to poke out of the rubble, gun-blasting the Ohm far enough to give him room to stand. At least his legs seemed functional.

"No!" Sasami shouted. With the Ohm she blasted away dealt with, she ran over to help rescue Billy, firing off a few blasts of energy at them as she went to pull the rubble off of him. "...too heavy, even with this..."

"C-C'mon, can you try to help me?!" she asked Billy. "Maybe if we can work together...!

Daimon approached slowly, periodically blasting the Ohm. He set down the puppies and created a circle of soulfire around them to keep them from running off. Then he set about pulling off the pieces of debris off of Billy. He grabbed one of the heavier chunks.

"Lift it on three. One... two... three."

"I---yeah," he said breathlessly to Sasami, wedging his good arm under the rubble and pushing when told to. If only he could wield a Blade Blaster with his teeth. That would have been useful and an awesome party trick! But it was more important to hurry before he ended up decapitated.

"THREE!" Sasami shouted as she helped Billy and Daimon pull the rubble off of the Ranger. Gathering up her puppy, she quickly went back on the defensive, firing at a few approaching Ohm.

"We need to get out of here, fast! Is everyone on board yet?!"

"I am uncertain." Daimon said, drawing closer to Billy. He had been paying more attention to the foes than the people. "Allow me." Daimon touched Billy's arm and closed his eyes, focusing on the light within his body and bringing it out. A brief flash of light emanated from his body before moving to Billy, then dissipating. He opened his eyes. "I trust you feel better."

As he was occupied with nervously watching for Ohm, Billy hardly registered the twinge of pain that resulted from Daimon's touch. The mending of his arm, though, was impossible to miss.

"Thanks," he said with clear gratitude as he clambered to his feet. Someone on this crew had to say it. "I think that was the---" here, he paused to bat at another Ohm "---last." A glance to the side showed her and the puppy turning the corner toward the main shelter path.

"Let's go." And he sprinted after them, prepared to shoot any that might attack the shuttle.

Everything was okay for the time being. Good. With a slight nod, she followed after Billy for the time being, ready to break off should things seem calm enough...

...as someone else needed her at the moment. (http://community.livejournal.com/trans_9/419984.html?thread=31146128#t31146128)

Daimon stepped through the circle of soulfire guarding the puppies and picked them up. With a wave of his hand the fire burnt out. He looked up just in time to see the shuttles taking off and that was good... wait...

"What am I going to do with these?" As he spoke one of the puppies climbed up his chest and licked his chin.

Even considering the seriousness of the situation, Billy couldn't help but smile behind the mask at that sight. Still ever-alert for signs of advancing Ohm, he answered "I'm sure Stacy has room for them in Hydroponics. They might get along well with the grub moles."

Daimon made no answer, only scowled. And yet, almost without realizing, he moved on arm so he could scratch one of the puppy's ears.
